Educating Yorkshire

Profile: Mr Mitchell

Jonny is new to the headteacher game. He joined Thornhill just over a year ago. It's his first job as a head and he came with a plan. A local lad, he is determined to continue to turn the school around, building on a growing academic success and crucially, to further improve their reputation in the local area.

It's a high-pressure gig, demanding results and fast - but Jonny is determined not to let the burdens of the job affect how the staff and students see him.

He's an approachable head who's not afraid of some tough discipline. And he constantly surprises with unexpected talents and interests: he has an exhaustive and eclectic collection of 1980s and 1990s pop and easy listening; is fluent in French; and can finish the Times cryptic crossword in a matter of minutes.
